ike ejiochi is there for us in st. louis this morning. good morning, ike. >> reporter: good morning, michael. that's right. it's been record rainfall here in missouri. right now we're in st. charles just northwest of st. louis and all morning we've seen roads completely washed out and flooded. as a matter of fact, the floodwaters on this road go back for about 200 yards. it's emblematic of the scenes we've been seeing all morning. this morning, historic floods across missouri. >> and it is still pouring. >> reporter: st. louis getting drenched with the highest 24-hour rainfall on record. nearly 8 inches in just 6 hours. the mayor declaring a state of emergency. roads closed. residents trapped. officials say more than 100 people were rescued, some unwillingly. >> we had a couple that didn't want to leave so we had to come back about an hour later because now they were trapped in their attic. it becomes an issue for the fire department. >> reporter: firefighters responding to rescue calls,

wading through flood water. some communities still in jeopardy as more rain is expected. >> we knew the rain was coming. i don't think anyone knew it would be this much this fast. >> reporter: water creeping into homes. one resident stuck outside their home as the street in front of them quickly fills. >> hey, i've got help on the way, man. >> reporter: authorities say one person was found dead in a car after the water started to recede. cars seen completely submerged. floodwaters filling the halls of this humane society. and out west, hail and rain sweeping into aurora, colorado. drivers tempting fate after flash floods hit evening commuters in colorado springs. vehicles stalling out. people coming together to push this suv to safety. and across the state in stratton, multiple tornadoes captred forming and touching down. >> i don't know if y'all can see that, but that's actually spinning on the ground. >> reporter: people watching in awe. >> i've never seen this. oh, my god.

>> reporter: now, the rainfall is still coming down this morning and as for st. louis, it's seen more rainfall during the storm than it normally does in all of july and august. michael? >> definitely devastating there. ik, thank you. now to the extreme heat and wildfires. ginger is tracking that. she's live in chatham, massachusetts, for us. good morning, ginger. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. as we left those fires yesterday, the oak fire in mariposa county, california, they did have some good news. the evacuations had been transitioned to advisories. so a lot of folks got to check on businesses and homes. looking at the pictures, still just 26% contained and firefighters are working hard to keep that away from properties. more than 18,000 acres have burned. this will take some time to get that thing down, but the heat is building just north of them. heat advisories, i mean, reno all the way up to washington state, excessive heat warnings. breaking records yesterday from seattle to portland.

numbers-wise we're looking at 106 for redding today. 108 yakima. portland should get close there to 100 by the end of the week so this is a long one and in the pacific northwest, you'll remember, michael, those can turn deadly. >> yes, they can. those are records no one is excited to break. thank you so much. george? we go to washington now. new developments in the january 6th investigation. the justice department is now investigating former president trump's actions surrounding the attack on the capitol and attempts to bock certification of the 2020 election. rachel scott is on capitol hill pwith the latest. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: george, good morning. so much of the focus has been on those striking january 6th hearings, but the justice department has been leading its own separate investigation and federal prosecutors are digging into trump's role. this morning, abc news has learned donald trump's actions are now being examined by the justice department as part of a criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. sources say that federal prosecutors have asked witnesses about trump's involvement

bringing in two top pence aides to testify before the grand jury. and "the washington post" reports in april investigators obtained phone records of key trump officials and aides, including former chief of staff mark meadows. >> we will hold accountable anyone who was criminally responsible for attempting to interfere with the transfer, the legitimate, lawful transfer of power from one administration to the next. >> reporter: for months the house committee has been gathering evidence for its own investigation releasing new audio of the former acting defense secretary, pushing back on trump's claims that he requested thousands of national guard troops ahead of january 6th. >> there was no order from the president. i was never given any direction or order or knew of any plans of that nature. >> reporter: multiple trump officials testified the former president watched the violence unfold on live television and resisted calls to condemn it. and for the first time since leaving office trump returned to the nation's capital. the former president's remarks laying out one vision for the

republican party, repeating his false claims about election fraud and teasing a presidential run in 2024. but on the same day his former vice president mike pence was also in town speaking just blocks away delivering a different message. >> i came today not to look backwards but to look forward. >> reporter: president biden called out trump for making law and order a central part of that speech, insisting that anyone who incites a mob has no respect for the rule of law. as for the justice department's investigation, it's unclear if donald trump is a target of that probe. the department is declining to comment this morning. george? >> but that investigation is intensifying. rachel, thanks very much. robin? george, now to the economy. the federal reserve is set to raise interest rates again as it tries to tame inflation. our chief economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is at the new york stock exchange with mre. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning to you, robin. here on wall street, the expectation is that the fed will hike interest rates by 0.75%

later today in an effort to halt inflation. this would be the fourth rate hike so far this year and in some ways it has helped inflation. if you take a look at where gas prices stand today, they are down about 60 cents from where they were a month ago, but in other areas, the impact has yet to be felt. consumers are facing double-digit inflation when it comes to food prices. they're seeing their rents higher. they're seeing prices higher, frankly, in most areas and that has caused consumer confidence to fall for the third straight month and raise concerns of the "r" word, the recession, a slowdown in the economy. and, robin, even if there isn't a recession, technically it can still feel bad out there for consumers. >> so, rebecca, give us a bottom line here. what will this mean for our wallets? >> reporter: well, if you think about what every rate hike means it means your borrowing costs go higher. it means you get paid more to

save your money in the bank. but with a real world example take that credit card, for example, if you were carrying a balance of about $5,000 which is the average in america, your apr goes from 17.25% to 18% and you pay $283 more. robin? >> all right, rebecca, thanks so much. george? okay, we'll go to the powerful earthquake that struck the philippines. 7.0 on the richter scale and first responders are searching the devastation for victims. maggie rulli is tracking this developing story. good morning, maggie. >> reporter: hey, good morning, george. yeah, there have been multiple after shocks this morning after what's being described as a major earthquake. at least four people have died. hundreds of overs are injured, and george, those numbers are likely to keep going up. the 7.0 magnitude quake triggered landslides, destroyed buildings in the northern philippines and there was panic in the country's capital of manila evacuating hospitals with some patients, some in

wheelchairs rushed out onto the street. while it appears those buildings are now stable, the state seismology agency warns strong aftershocks are expected. the philippines lies right along the pacific ring of fire, an arc of faults around the pacific ocean where most of the world's earthquakes occur making earthquakes there often incredibly dangerous and deadly. george? >> maggie rulli, thanks. michael? now to growing concern this morning about the monkeypox outbreak. the u.s. has more than 3,400 confirmed cases. erielle reshef is here with the latest. good morning, erielle. >> good morning to you, michael. cases of monkeypox are spiking here in the u.s. and new york is now the epicenter with the most reported infections. health officials saying there is no reason to panic but they are urging vigilance and say now is the time to stem the tide. this morning, monkeypox infections on the rise. the cdc now reporting over 3,500 cases. up from nearly 2,900 at the end of last week. experts saying the spike may be due in part to more testing, but warned the true number could be

much higher. jonathan from miami was hospitalized just after experiencing symptoms. >> i felt like a virus walking through the hospital. people were running, darting into rooms, putting on masks and gloves and like full body suits. >> reporter: jonathan saying at times it was excruciating. >> it felt like i was -- like someone was setting fire to my skin. >> reporter: doctors say for now, most of the people getting sick are gay or bisexual men, but anyone may be at risk of getting infected. the virus most likely spreads with close, intimate, physical contact, either face-to-face by respiratory droplets or skin-to-skin with an infectious rash and can also spread through items such as clothing and linens. >> i think it's nothing to panic about, but something we have to be aware of because we have a short and closing window to get control of this virus in our community. >> reporter: and with kids and parents looking to the start of

the school year, experts saying there is minimal risk to children. >> so not being spread in schools, not being spread at the park or on playgrounds. >> and remember, there is an effective vaccine for monkeypox, but for now, it is only available to those considered at high risk. the cdc saying the protocol for everyone right now is similar to what we've all become accustomed to in fighting covid. extra hand washing, using alcohol-based hand sanitizer and avoiding direct contact with people who may be infected. michael? >> thank you, erielle. robin? now to the top executives of major gun manufacturers in the hot seat this morning on capitol hill, facing tough questions about how they market their weapons. our senior national correspondent terry moran has the latest for us. good morning, terry. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this morning, the ceos of daniel defense and sturm ruger, two major manufacturers of the ar-15-style rifles will get grilled by the house oversight committee.

democrats' effort of finding some way to stem the bloody tide of mass shootings in america. a daniel defense rifle was used in the uvalde school massacre. and a sturm ruger weapon was used in the shooting at a church sutherland spring, texas, in 2017. the committee wants to know, as you say, how these weapons are being marketed and how much money these companies are making off of them. congresswoman carolyn maloney, the chair of the house oversight committee, accusing the gun manufacturers in a letter of, quote, continuing to profit from the sale of weapons of war to civilians. but the companies say they are making lawful weapons in a lawful and responsible manner and they say they are not to blame for the actions of individuals or the failure of gun laws. the democrats are seeking to pass an assault weapons ban in the house, but that is almost certainly doomed in the senate. robin? >> many will be watching to see what happens today. all right, terry, thank you. george? okay, robin. we have new video now at the shooting at dallas love field airport. it shows the panic as a woman opened fire, was taken down by police.

transportation correspondent gio benitez has the story. good morning, gio. >> reporter: hey, george, good morning. yeah, the video you're about to see gives us an incredibly close look at exactly what happened inside that airport. but what it doesn't show us is why the shooter opened fire. this morning, the dramatic moments inside dallas love field airport captured on camera. it all starts at 10:57 a.m. cameras capture the woman getting to the airport in a red uber vehicle, walking in wearing a black hoodie. just before 11:00 a.m., she walks into a bathroom. five minutes later you see her alking out and wand the ticketing area. at 11:06 a.m. she raises her arm firing the first shots at the ceiling. a panicked crowd taking cover. >> witnesses say she started to ramble talking about a marriage, incarceration and that she was going to blow up the airport and then pulls a handgun from her sweatshirt. >> reporter: but then police say the suspect points the gun at a

veteran dallas police officer and a bystander. the officer shooting her in her lower extremities. >> i know his actions saved lives and prevented more injuries. >> reporter: body cameras rolling as officers move in for the arrest. >> put your hands up. >> reporter: police say this is the shooter. 37-year-old portia odufuwa. the weapon was not registered to her. she's been prohibited from possessing a firearm since 2018. law enforcement officials say she has a history of mental health issues and had previously been arrested for arson and bank robbery, but both charges were dropped. now, the shooter was taken to the hospital for treatment. she is in custody, but investigators this morning are still trying to figure out why she started shooting and, george, how she got that gun. >> that is the big question. gio benitez, thanks very much. robin? >> big question indeed, george. we're going to turn to the megamillions jackpot.

with no winner overnight, the prize soaring to more than $1 billion. i said that, a billion dollars. andrew dymburt has more. andrew, so many were scrambling to see if they won that the website crashed for hours. good morning. >> reporter: robin, good morning. i got to be honest, i was one of those americans this morning scrambling to see if i won. i did not. there was no big jackpot winner but that's good news. it means everyone is still in it and means the jackpot is going up to the tune of just over a billion dollars. it's only the third time in 20 years that the megamillions is becoming a megabillion. of course, megamillions mania is sweeping the nation, so much so that the website megamillions.com crashed last night for a few hours. it's back up now, and has good news for 6.7 million people who won something, if only a few bucks or a free ticket. and even though no one claimed the top prize, nine people including four right here in the new york area are waking up this morning as millionaires. not a bad consolation. by the way, that billion dollar drawing is set for friday night.

get your tickets, guys. >> when did you think a million dollars would be a consolation? andrew, thank you. >> that is something. a lot more coming up on "gma" including the man accused of killing his new wife on vacation in fiji. he appeared in court as we hear from the lawyer for the family of the victim. that's only on "gma" this morning. and brittney griner testifying in a russian court this morning in her trial. but first, let's go back to ginger. hey there, ginger. >> reporter: hey there, robin. from fires to now getting on a boat and being with some shark researchers, we've been watching all of the headlines across the nation. i want to start with what's happening in texas. so in texas, where that grass fire went right up into homes, nine destroyed. more than two dozen had some damage to them. they are hot again. san antonio has been 100 plus every day this month except for one and they will easily do it with those heat advisories in place. and just to note this morning there are flash flood warnings happening in west virginia as we speak and most of arizona has a flood watch as well. that's the big picture. let's get a check now a little closer to home.

more specifically instagram. >> reporter: the second suit filed by the kentucky parents of a girl identified only by the letters cn who say she too was just 12 when she started using instagram originally to look up recipes to cook with her mother. lawyers claiming the girl was quickly targeted by instagram algorithms showing recipes designed to achieve negative caloric intake and pushing the young girl down a dangerous rabbit hole even connecting her to other users with tips about how to hide the fact that she wasn't eating. these photos attached to the lawsuit purporting to show cn before using instagram and after. both lawsuits accusing meta of prioritizing growth and competition concerns and engagement over user safety. >> there could be billions of dollars in damages. they could have to have outside people overseeing what they were doing to ensure that their algorithm techniques ween't targeting minors. if these plaintiffs are successful, there are going to be hundreds, potentially thousands of more plaintiffs. >> reporter: the social media giant already under the microscope after former facebook

data scientist frances haugen blew the whistle testifying before congress last october. >> i believe facebook's products harm children, stoke division and weaken our democracy. >> reporter: haugen publishing internal documents, including research finding instagram had made body image issues worse for 1 in 3 teens, but took no action to stop it. meta is not commenting on the two new lawsuits, but say they're committed to raising the standard for protecting teens and supporting families online. and experts say try to prevent or dissuade your child from joining social media as long as possible until they're a little older. but let's all be realistic so many kids are already using these platforms, so you should emphasize the need to use them in moderation. also remember kids are looking to us to model behavior. if we are obsessing over social media likely they will too. >> tiktok is like an alternate universe for so many of these kids. how do we talk to them about it? >> such a good question.

best to make sure your kids feel they can come to you if they are being targeted or bullied by unhealthy posts or accounts and experts say avoid lecturing your teen or reprimanding them about social media because that can turn them off from talking to you about it. it is hard. instead talk together about the pros, cons, the good and the bad. teach them that going online when they feel empty or sad or angry often just makes everything worse. it exacerbates the problem. you want to make sure your kids can come to you instead. this has just added another layer to parenting that no one ever saw coming. >> it sure does. >> appreciate it, erielle. coming up later, the season of travel savings when prices will drop and how the way you book your flight could save your family hundreds of dollars. next, sam champion, gloria estefan and some really good burgers. it's the perfect storm live from miami. come on back.

dr. whitney bowe and with your take on this. so great to have you back. >> so good to be here. >> such a good friend of the program. is this a good idea? >> so calamine lotion acts like an astringent and dries out the skin. that can be a good thing in the short term if you're treating something like a bug bite. if you use it consistently over time, it can damage the skin barrier, the smart protective shield that traps moisture in, but blocks out things like allergens and pollutants. you don't want those getting in the skin so it can show up as blotchy skin or accelerate the aging process. you lose elasticity. >> a lot of great things on tiktok. good hacks but this one, you might not. what is your recommendation? >> i created a method i call skin cycling which happens to be trending on social media right now and it's a four-night routine. okay, so night one is exfoliation night.

cleanse. then you want to use an exfoliating product that contains ingredients like glycolic acid, salicylic acid. what that will do is slough away the dead layer of skin cells and brightens the skin overnight, but preps the skin to get the most out of night two which is retinoid night. so use a retinoid. less is more. take that one tiny pea and you want to dab it all over your face and then you want to rub it in. this will help with texture, fine lines, wrinkles. but the most -- >> we hear so much about retinol. >> then, night three and four are recovery nights, the most important when it comes to the skin barrier.

you cleanse. you can leave the skin a little damp and you can put on a hyaluronic acid serum. an optional step. the most important step is going to be a moisturizer so, of course, i brought my favorite, which has been shown to repair the skin barrier in just one hour. we did clinical tests to prove that. yeah, so it's got things like squalane and repairs it. >> i'm not just saying -- i use this and it does give you that glow and you swept time and didn't rush it out there. >> it took two years formulate it and did so much testing to prove it works. >> good to see you, whitney. let's go back to ginger in massachusetts. ginger? >> reporter: robin, i wish i would have brought my bow glow with me. kevin curry, a chef you should check out fit man cook, great recipes took advantage of the texas heat and tried to dehydrate fruit and it worked. 110 degrees in just five hours. he said that was kind of the optimal dehydration temperature. so i guess that's a great eco-friendly way of not using energy but getting what you need. now, the western heat wave is building and they're in day three out there. medford could go to 106.

seen this ad? it's not paid for by california tribes. it's paid for by the out of state gambling corporations that wrote prop 27. it doesn't tell you 90% of the profits go to the out of state corporations. a tiny share goes to the homeless, and even less to tribes. and a big loophole says, costs to promote betting reduce money for the tribes, so they get less. hidden agendas. fine print. loopholes. prop 27. they didn't write it for the tribes or the homeless. they wrote it for themselves.

♪ it's not the same ♪ our next guest does it all, actor, singer, producer. he's won a tony and an emmy. now neil patrick harris is starring in "uncoupled." welcome back. >> thank you, sir. nice to see you all. >> tell us about "uncoupled." >> so "uncoupled" is a netflix comedy by darren star who did "emily in paris" and "sex and the city," maybe you have a heard of that. it's his new show about what happens if you are broken up with. my character michael is in a 17-year relationship with his partner and on collin's 50th birthday, a surprise party he's throwing for him, he says right before they're about to say

surprise, he says i've moved out. i'm taking all my stuff and i'm done and then gut punch, door open, surprise and that's sort of the show. it's what happens when a man of a certain age has to date again and sort of deal with a breakup. not a breakup where you knew it was coming, right, but like what would happen? i think it's an interesting -- >> alternate version of your life. humor into a breakup like this? >> well, it's interesting. it's a comedy. you know, it's darren star so nny happen and light in that yet then you get punched by the reality of the emotion of it all. so it was fairly easy. it was a bit of a sliding doors version of my own life. my husband, we've been together 18 years. i can't imagine what would happen if all of a sudden we were broken up with and i was worried it would be a niche show that only gay men of a certain age would relate to but i think a breakup by design is something

that's watchable and that you've experienced and so to watch men's emotions within a breakup that's usually i think a female driven ideal. >> so the last time he dated was predating apps. >> yes, my character has to see what it's like in a grinder world. >> we're going to take a look at -- in this clip your character has a run-in with a potential date. let's check it out. >> cool. ♪ >> oh. >> i am so sorry. are you okay? >> yeah. i just got the wind knocked out of me. >> all right. there we go. >> oops. whoa. >> are you sure you're all right? >> yeah, really, i'm fine. >> oh, great.

i'm luke, by the way. >> michael. hi. nice slamming into you. [ laughter ] >> the pain and there's the comedy. >> yeah, yeah. and that's -- i was concerned about how that would play out, whether people would want to see a comedy or people would want to see drama and i think both work as in life, like if you have a breakup in your real life it's not all sad, right? funny things still happen within it so i'm proud of the show. it comes out on friday. they're 30-minute episodes. only eight of them so a bingy type of experience. >> you should be proud of this show. it is a binge-worthy experience and also something else you should be proud of. here you're joining dr. who and this is what your character is described as, quote, the greatest enemy the doctor has ever faced. so what can you tell us about that? >> i'm not at liberty to say

much of anything. russell davies has taken over dr. who again. he sort of reinvented it when david tenet did it. i didn't know much about the mythology at all. i knew there were massive fans of it, but i wasn't -- i wasn't someone who had watched it when i grew up and i got to -- i did a show with him before called "it's a sin." russell is amazing and got to go to cardiff, wales, and film a thing that i think will come out next holiday season. it's going to be fun. it's fun playing villainous characters.

exercise you should do? >> hello, menopause and hello belly fat. that is a thing. menopause doesn't cause it but the hormonal changes where we store it and it can be stubborn. so it will -- it's also going to be one of those things to work on through nutrition. that will drive the fat loss but strength training will help keep our metabolism high and that's going to give the assist. >> so what's the exercise? >> debra is doing a squat and she'll be sending her butt back and down like she's sitting in a chair and strengthening our glutes, hamstrings, quads and core. just an overall great exercise. >> for the time we have remaining for those of us in our 60s, what are those issues? >> so let's talk about posture and get a strong back. debra will start doing a dumbbell row and she is just going to move that dumbbell back to her body line just like she's doing right there and this is going to really help with posture and it's going to help give us a strong back. >> all right. so overall what are your
